The Wayne Light Troop.
Annual Icsfe:tioc.
As the General Inspection of
the local military organization,
as provided lor by the regulations
of the War Department of the
United States aud conducted by a
regular army officer, takes place
on March 7th, or m other words
on next Thursday, it may well
deemed appropriate for use to
make a few observations not only
pertinent to the occasion but also
somewhat, indicative as to the
course that cur people should in
future pursue as far as our local
military organization, The Wayne
Light Troop, is concerned.
To begin with, when we take in
to full consideration all the con
ditions of our section of the state,
our county and town, and while
we have only once needed an arm
ed force and may never need 01 e
again, still the simple yet impor
tant fact stands strougly in view
to all that we here have had and
now have a company of armed
troops who .0 a very short time
can be place into servic*, and
that this is a very great protection
to our entire section of the state,
as likewise it is also a protection
to every community in close prox
imity to our town. In other
words, the moral effect that a lo
cal military organization has upon
that element ot our population
that is the most likely to become
unruly or riotous, can scarcely be
estimated, And it is for this con
tinued protection of our homes
from that menace that we here in
the south are almost alone in any
danger of, for that purpose if
110 other, should we unitedly
maintain as we have a military
organization here in Jesup.
Not oj'y is the above true, but
we know not on what day or at
what hour lawlessness may break
out in some of our neighboring
towns, for riot and bloodshed,
troiu racial or other causes, may
take place anywhere at any time,
aud hence this again constitutes
a reason why we here in
should continue to give our sup
port to our local military organi
zation which has now held its
place on the state’s roster for
some fifteen years.
| And as a final argument, we
submit that for patriotic reasons,
if for no other, should our young
meu renew their energies in this
direction, and again bring
organization to the front, for it is
a fact that many that should now
begiviug their hearty support to
the Troop and hence should assist
in giving character and strength
to the organization are not doing
so. Theburdeh, at present, of
holding together a suffizient nnm
her of the boys so that Troop “I”
may continue to be a constituent
part of the National Guard of
of Georgia rests on but a very few
shoulders. More of our young
men should thus assist in making
the organization the success it
should be.
In this connection there are a
few thoughts that we wish to sub
mit to our citizens in general to
think and ponder over. Few peo
pie here in Jesup have perhaps
even thought that The Wayne
Light Troop is the only organiza
tion of its kind in the entire state
of Georgia that receives

JESUP, GA., FEBRUARY 28th, 1907.
! ly uo aid or support whatever
1 from th ) town in wh ieh it is lo
cated, It is a deplorable fact
I | that our citizens generally miiita- evince
loss interest in their local
r „ olguulza ,“‘ |‘ ionthan that shown
j t oit BJn4 ()t - aay , th , r town
fcft . aluCftl co(n?auy . The fact
is, Troop “I” ha. existed rather

11 spite of the people than
I their euu ,, urilge „„ nt and support,
^ nd it ^ j n (he face of ft!1 this
I ,. f , gIoct 1hig ] ac kof general good
enocrage ni e ut and assistance
that the boys are quietly, energet
ically aud enthusiastically going
ah^ad making preparation for in
spection, and they will 110 doutt
on the 7th again pass through the
ordeal smnin dy and happy.
But the fol owing brings us to
the point. 11 suggest that ibis
coldue s, indirt, rence on the part
of our people should change. All
t he better element of our young
j m n should assist in taking hold,
assist iu recreating this company
of Troopeis. assist in bringing up
this organization to the very fore
front of like organizations ot the
state. And in this effort, our
{ yo men ghould have behind
fhem , )otouly the good willf but
| ^ the sohd morftl) pprponal and
I financial support of our town
government, of our leaders in
business aud financial circles,
our citizenship in general.
An appeal along this liue
the better, (he real patriotic im
pulses of our young men
not be in vain 1 A like anpeal
the busmessTifterests and
cial circle ofs our town
likewise bear fruit! Why
all leave this lethargy ot the past,
whv riot relegate this
to the rear, a»dagain all put
shoulders 10 the wheel
and thus unitedly and
nately place Troop “I” of the
Regiment of Cavalry,
National Guard, to the very
in the military circles of
state? Why mot. do this?
Our young men, our town offi
cials, our business and financial
leaders, out citizens in general
have a patriotic duty before them
in this matter, and to them all
this appeal is made that they per
form it.

and Schools.
Under the heading of “Geor
gia’s Promiment Educators and
Their work”, the Southern Educa
tional Journal, published in At
lanta, has the following article
about Jesup’s able Superintendant
of Schools and his work, illustra
ted with a nuuiDer of appropriate
cuts:
“PiofessorW. D. Greene was born
near Butler, Ga., August 25,1875.
After having received such train
ing as the country schools afford
ed fifteen years ago, he entered
th- Reynolds High School where
lie prepared for college. Financial
consider! tious, however, for a
time deferred the attainment of
his most cherished hopes, but af
ter teaching three years in his na
tive county aud iu the building
where his literary career was be
gun, the morning of a brighter
day began to dawn upon him.
I k He entered the Georgia State
Normal School in 1898 arid wa9
graduated with the degree of Li
centiate of Instruction in 1900.
Having tasted already some of the
responsibilities of the teacher’s
life, he was still not satisfied,
he turned his eyes toward
ville, Teun., graduating at
Peabody Normal College in 19)1.
During that year he was one of
two successful contestants for
of two Peabody Scholars,^ ii}»
which there were twenty-two
petitors. This enabled him to
tinue his work in the
of [Nashville where he was
ated iu 1908 with the degree
Bachelor of Arts.
“In the fall of 1908 he

pal of the High school
In the swimmer of 1005 lie
called from Eiberton to Jesup
Superintendant of the
Schools. It is here iu the freedom
of his own initiative that his
work has been done.
“During the past few
the Jesup Public Schools
made marked progress in respect
to attendance, establishment of a
gopd school library, school room
decoration, and placing in
curriculum a first class scientific
course with the necessary labora
tory equipment. Iu acccmplish
ing this work with a general re
organization of the school system
the efforts of Supeiuitendaut W.
D. Greene have been directed to
ward three specific ends: (1) that
the Jeswp Schools may articulate
with the country schools of Wayne
county and that the Jesup High
School may be in effect, if not in
fact the County High School of
Wayne; (2) that the course of
study may also art d ilute w th
that of the leading college? of the
state; (8) that the Gaining given
may be sufficient, liberal, practi
cal, and thorough to prepare boys
and girls for the duties of life.
“There has been a considerable
increase this term m the atten
dance especn^i of non-resident
students. During the summer
month3 th e Supermtendaut caused
to be published , a; most creditible
subscription $ 1.00 fee year
Among the County Schools.
The ‘‘Basket Supper” and
Washington’s Birthday exercises
given by the Piney Grove school
j last Friday night proved a success.
The flag drill could hardly be ex
celled by even a city school. The
Caskets were sold for $112 which
will be used in seating the school
room. Very likely the Board will
donate an equal amount, and with
$64.00 about forty pupils could be
comfortably seated. Miss Long,
the teacher at Pn.ey Grove, de
s-rV' B much credit lor tlw inter
est she has arous d in the short
time she hits boou there. 9 e hope
to hear of several more basket
supp rs among our schools.
Mias Ethel Gardner* One of our
young but can.eat tei ch *is, opened
the Alt, Pleasant school Monday.
The outlook is bright for a suc
cessful term.
The Bethel school resumed work
again [Monday morning, with
Prof. J P. Shedd as principal and
Mis3 Blanche Morrison assistant,
The school is in safe hands.
The schools visited last week by
the County School Commissioner
were: Consolidate 1, taught by
Miss Janie Arnett; Simpson (col)
with Donnie Mitchell teacher:
Madray, W. W. Waters teacher;
New Hope, teacher, Miss Leila
Casey; and Piney Grove taught by
Miss Madge Long. Good work is
being done in all these schools.
The teachers are live, enthusias
tic workers and are doing their
part well and uobly. Most of the
pupils seem to be earnest seekers
after knowledge and are|quitt aud
studious. About the greatest
need in these schools at present is
an awakening among trustees and
patrons. This awakening must be
brought about by the teacher aud
should result iu the school houses
being ceiled, seated, furnished
with black boards and the floors
tightened. Kind teacher, will you
not strive earnestly to leave your
school in better shape than you
found it?
